Within FirstGroup, yup.

He left TPE▸ (Trans Pennine Express) after the Government 'nationalised' it.

Yes, but note that was a post made 2 years ago and much has moved on with TPE▸ (Trans Pennine Express) since then,

Yes, I believe so.  I would suspect this thread will bounce back to life at some point; hope so.

So good to see you, Matthew, at Westbury on 8th.  "Don't know where, don't know when - but I know we'll meet again some sunny day."  Rail is presently somewhat at the eye of a storm, and time will tell how it comes out of that storm. But I do know there are many good people out there who wish to see a "better" system - and that is better for the environment, the people who provide it, and most importantly for the people who use it.
